Tarco makes a line of spreaders including the Highlander, Highlander Jr. and "Salt and Pepper". Originally made by Tarrant and then by Loughberry, they still carry both the Tarco and Loughberry names.

The Highlander spreader comes in multiple models. They are sized for municipal trucks.

The gas powered model is HL-G-HY2. This unit is powered by a self-contained hydraulic system equipped with a 23 HP gasoline engine, hydraulic pump and oil reservoir. A hydraulic motor is coupled to a cast iron 50:1, 25:1 or 6:1 right-angle gear box.
